Gameplay mechanics, so filthy casuals cant get they cloak. Blizz is soooo sinister. I for one, had no problem dealing with him.

Also mine black dragon whelping is far more badass (and bigger if on steroids) than him.

Gameplay mechanics? The dialogue makes it pretty clear that the blindfold is a big disadvantage for him. He's supposed to be learning a lesson about how you need 'vision' to properly utilize your strength/wisdom though it falls flat in 5.4 along with the rest.

By that logic just about everyone in WoW is incompetent and weak because they need the hero to get shit done.

Also funny that you call the 5.3 quest the one 'so filthy casuals can get their cloak' when that's actually the hardest quest in the entire chain, except for maybe the 'win two bgs' if you're in a terrible battle group, where as the rest of it is just 'go into lfr and hope you get good rng.'

i am going to agree with you. he is a VERY powerful whelp but he still has alot to learn. which basically what the legendary quest line was about more power and wisdom.

Actually you're adding "power" here because it suits your argument and you're losing on it. The Celestials are trying to teach him wisdom, guidance, a sense of morality more than himself. Not that he is weak.

Yeah, even Xuen's lesson isn't about 'you're weak become strong' but whether on how he should use his strength.

Plus despite being a whelp he was able to use his magic to paralyze that dragon at the end of the rogue dagger quest line allowing for an easy kill by the rogue.

Wrathion has a lot to learn, is still young, but he's not 'just a whelp.'

When was the rise of Jaina Proudmoore? They really haven't spent much time building her up. Either way if she was going to go all dark and crazy, the best opportunity for that was the bombing of Theramore, or right after the Purge. If she was able to keep her shit together after all that it doesn't make sense to lose it all of a sudden. Personally I would have loved to see her go dark after the bombing of Theramore, and retaliate by turning Orgrimmar into a smoking pile of rubble. That would have at least made sense and given both the Alliance and the Horde a reason to go against her.
